Robot arm aims for perfect knee ligament repair

NCT ID NCT04183803

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a robot can help surgeons place bone tunnels more accurately during ACL reconstruction. Thirty patients with torn ACLs will receive standard surgery, but the robot guides where the tunnels are drilled. The main goal is to see if the robot's planned position matches the actual position after surgery. If it works, this could lead to more consistent and successful ACL repairs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Rosa robot guidance for tunnel placement

What this could lead to

If successful, this could make ACL surgery more precise, potentially leading to better knee function and faster recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants. The robot may not improve outcomes significantly, and results may not apply to all patients.
